VIRTUAL STUDY GROUP FOR OCTOBER 27 PE EXAMS ON MACHINE DESIGN AND MATERIALS AND THERMAL AND FLUID SYSTEMSWe have gotten interest from people who are taking the Thermal and Fluid Systems Exam to join the community that was set up earlier for those taking the Machine Design and Materials exam. So, the list of topics has been updated:This Community will allow participants to post questions as they are studying for the exams. Weekly WebEx sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings at 8:30 pm Eastern Time to discuss technical problems and exam-taking strategies. The Community is at https://community.asme.org/pe_exam_study_group_-_october_2017_machine_design_and_materials_exam/default.aspxOct. 4 – Failure Theory, Machine Design, Themodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat TransferOct. 11 – Joints, Fasteners, Control Systems, Hydraulic and Fluid ApplicationsOct. 18 – Statics and Material Properties, Energy/Power System Appllcations, Engineering Economics, Project ManagementOct. 25 – Exam-taking strategies, last-minute questionsPlease send images of technical problems on the topics above that you have to soukupd@asme.org and they will posted during the webconference for discussion by the study group participants. The log in instructions for the October 4 WebEx session at 8:30 pm Eastern Time are:Meeting number: 647 372 970https://asme.webex.com/asme/j.php?MTID=m4573373fb92363f4575bdaeaa3238b5fJoin by phoneCall-in toll-free number (Premiere): 1-877-647-3411 (US)Call-in number (Premiere): 1-712-770-4205 (US)Audio Passcode: 706 297 9854Can't join the meeting? https://help.webex.com/docs/DOC-5412Dave

Hello. I've just released a beta version of a new hydraulic cylinder design guide at https://goo.gl/yr1yXY. This is a nice visual tool for evaluating the valve, load and cylinder interaction. I'd appreciate any comments or feedback, plus checking those funny imperial units.

I am looking for some technical assistance in creating a fluid power lab for a mechanical engineering lab. Just a few minutes of discussion would be very helpful. If you can contact me at profreynolds@gmail.com I would be very grateful!
